Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 cups whole wheat rotini pasta

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

  • 1 pound chicken, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 10 asparagus spears, cut into 1/2-inch lengths

  • 1 small zucchini, sliced

  • 1 small yellow squash, sliced

  • ½ small onion, sliced

  • ½ cup sliced mushrooms

  • ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

  • ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain.

  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in hot oil until browned completely, 3 to 5 minutes. Add asparagus, zucchini, yellow squash, onion, and mushrooms; continue to cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle, about 5 minutes more.

  3. Pour chicken broth over the vegetable mixture, place a cover on the skillet, and continue cooking until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

  4. Stir cooked pasta into the vegetable mixture; season with red pepper flakes and top with feta cheese.
